T
he W-DMX BlackBox range represents the
pinnacle of wireless engineering excellence ap-
plied to the control of lighting systems.
The new Micro series builds upon the considerable
successes of the full size BlackBox range. Thanks to ad-
vances in circuit miniaturisation, we have managed to fit
the complete W-DMX system into a compact package
with less than half the volume of the full size casing. In-
credibly this includes a powerful battery backup system
(not the Lite version) and even the antenna.
The battery backup system (not the Lite version) can
be utilised in two ways depending on the installation
requirements and availability of power. Where power is
available but not always reliable, the Micro unit’s battery
system performs the role of an uninterruptable power
supply, ensuring seemless operation during outages.
Alternatively, in situations where power is difficult to
feed to the Micro unit’s location, it can provide up to
eight hours continuous independent operation from a
full charge. When power is available, the Micro units can
accept low voltage inputs in the range 12 to 24VDC.
Drawing on our considerable experience in wire-
less communications, the internal antenna uses next
generation AIDA
®
technology to provide extended
operational range compared to conventional omni-
directional antennae.
Diminutive size does not mean that you lose the fea-
ture set expected of all W-DMX BlackBox products.
The Micro series units present exactly the same control
panel with its clear status indications and intuitive sin-
gle button control. The Micro units are also fully com-
patible with all other members of the W-DMX range
so that they can be mixed and matched as necessary.
There are three options within the Micro series:
S-1 Micro Single DMX universe transmitter with
battery backup and internal antenna.
R-512 Micro Single DMX universe receiver with
battery backup and internal antenna.
R-512 Micro Lite Single DMX universe receiver with
internal antenna.
All Micro options are housed within a tough injec-
tion moulded plastic case featuring a multi-purpose
mounting bracket for easy rigging in a variety of
applications. The bracket can be rotated in 45 deg.
increments to allow the Micro to be positioned in the
optimum orientation.
We believe that the impressive combination of
miniaturisation, toughness, flexibility and ease of use
makes the Micro series a natural selection for a vari-
ety of demanding applications. After using them, we
feel sure that you will agree.
What is W-DMX?
The W-DMX technology lies at the heart of every one of our Black-
Box products. W-DMX is specifically engineered by Wireless Solution
Sweden AB to provide the same quality, reliability and performance
as any hardwired DMX data link. In fact W-DMX gives you greater
freedom to create reliable point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and
even multipoint-to-multipoint installations over large distances.
Point-to-point operation
W-DMX is unique in its use of certain advanced radio techniques
which are more often found in mobile phone and military commu-
nications. Rather than using fixed frequency channels, W-DMX uses
adaptive frequency hopping technology (as well as TDMA and GFSK
technqiues) to continually check for interference and to rapidly move
operation over to clear radio channels. The frequency hops occur
one thousand times every second to ensure smooth, efficient and
robust operation.
The advantage of such technology will quickly become clear to you:
consistent and wide ranging control of your lighting systems over
potentially great distances.
